port.
Automatically Detect Incoming Signals and Change
the Projected Image (Source Search)
You can project the target image quickly as input ports with no image
signal being input are ignored when you change by pressing the [Source
Search] button.
* EasyMP changes when using EMP-1715/1705.
Install the wireless LAN unit supplied (EMP-1715/1705 only).

Functions for Enhancing Projection
Selecting the Projection Quality (Selecting Colour
Mode)
You can easily obtain the optimum image quality simply by selecting the
setting that best corresponds to your surroundings when projecting. The
brightness of the image varies depending on the mode selected.
Each time you press the button, the colour mode name is displayed on the
screen and the colour mode changes.
If you press the button while the colour mode name is displayed on the
screen, it changes to the next colour mode.
Mode Application
Photo (When computer images are input)
Ideal for projecting still pictures, such as photos, in a
bright room. The images are vivid and brought into
contrast.
Sports (When component video, S-video, or composite
video images are input)
Ideal for watching TV programmes in a bright room.
The images are vivid and brought to life.
Presentation Ideal for giving presentations in a bright room.
Theatre Ideal for watching films in a dark room. Gives
images a natural tone.
Game Ideal for playing video games in a bright room.
Excels at emphasizing dark gradations.
sRGBg Ideal for images that conform to the sRGB colour
standard.
Blackboard Even if you are projecting onto a blackboard
(greenboard), this setting gives your images a natural
tint, just like when projecting onto a screen.
Customized You can set it to a specific colour.
Procedure

Hiding the Image and Sound Temporarily (A/V Mute)
You can use this when you want to focus the audience's attention on what
you are saying, or if you do not want to show details such as when you are
changing between files during presentations from a computer.
Each time you press the button, or the A/V mute slide is opened or closed,
A/V Mute turns on or off.
Procedure
Remote control Projector
q
• If you use this function when projecting moving images,
the images and sound continue to be played back by the
source, and you cannot return to the point where A/V
Mute was activated.
• You can choose to display black, blue, or logo as the A/V
mute display using the "Extended"-"Display"-"A/V
Mute" setting from the configuration menu.
s
p.35
• When the A/V mute slide is closed and A/V mute begins,
the power supply can be set to automatically turn off after
about 30 minutes by setting "Extended" - "Sleep Mode"
from the configuration menu.

Functions for Enhancing Projection
17
Freezing the Image (Freeze)
When the moving image on the screen is frozen, the image continues to
project, so you can project a moving image one frame at a time like a still
photo. Also, you can perform operations such as changing between files
during presentations from a computer without projecting any images if the
freeze function is activated beforehand.
Each time you press the button, Freeze turns on or off.
Changing the Aspect Ratio (Resize)
When video equipment is connected, images that have been recorded in
digital video or onto DVDs can be viewed in 16:9 wide-screen format.
You can change the aspect ratio for images in squeeze modeg as follows.
You can change the aspect ratio for computer images as follows.
Procedure
q
• Audio does not stop.
• The image source continues to playback the moving
images even while the screen is frozen, and so it is not
possible to resume projection from the point where it was
paused.
• If the [Freeze] button is pressed while the configuration
menu or a help screen is displayed, the menu or help
screen being displayed is cleared.
• Freeze still works while E-Zoom is being used.
